With a little love and some tenderness   We'll walk upon the water   We'll rise above the mess      With a little peace and some harmony   We'll take the world together   We'll take them by the hand      'Cause I've got a hand for you, oh   'Cause I wanna run with you      Yesterday, I saw you standing there   Your head was down, your eyes were red   No comb had touched your hair      I said, "Get up, and let me see you smile   We'll take a walk together   Walk the road awhile" 'Cause      'Cause I've got a hand for you   I've got a hand for you   'Cause I wanna run with you   Won't you let me run with you? Yeah      Hold my hand   Want you to hold my hand   Hold my hand   I'll take you to a place where you can be   Hold my hand   Anything you wanna be because   I wanna love you the best that   The best that I can      See I was wasted, and I was wasting time   'Til I thought about your problems   I thought about your crimes      Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud   "I don't wanna be part of your problems   Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no"      'Cause I've got a hand for you   I've got a hand for you   'Cause I wanna run with you   Won't you let me run with you?      Hold my hand   Want you to hold my hand   Hold my hand   I'll take you to the promised land   Hold my hand   Maybe we can't change the world but   I wanna love you the best that   The best that I can, yeah      [Incomprehensible]   Hold my hand   Want you to hold my hand   Hold my hand   I'll take you to a place where you can be   Hold my hand   Anything you wanna be because      I oh no, no, no, no, no   Hold my hand   Want you to hold my hand   Hold my hand   I'll take you to the promised land   Hold my hand   Maybe we can't change the world but   I wanna love you the best that   The best that I can   Oh, best that I can
